Thank you jonnybravo and windpath.

Curious too: what happened with http://p2pool-nodes.info/ earlier today when it was blank? Anybody know?

Just getting started with mining and curious about p2pool. What's the difference between these two projects?

https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/graphs/contributors
https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav/graphs/contributors

Lots of other questions:

Are these just different implementations of the p2pool protocol?

Looks like forrestv's project's last release was in 2013. Does that indicate stable/finished software or does that indicate an abandoned project?

Rav3nPL's project seems to have more recent activity. Which project is better and why?

Are there other p2pool implementations aside from these two?

Is it possible to use Rav3nPL according to the guidance in http://p2pool.in/ ?

Which p2pool software project are most people using in Linux?

Thanks in advance for replies.
